If you want to take it a little further.....according to the SW visual dictionary, the officers you saw wearing black unforms with the black hats were stormtroopers out of armor. Only when there was a battle would they wear their white armor outfits. However, when I was a kid I didnt want to believe that they was human, but instead robots. So I can see where the confusion could be.

I too believed they were robots. Remember how poorly the sentry robots from The Black Hole shot? I figured that was why Stormtroopers couldn't hit anything. I just assumed that Han and Luke scooped out the wires and gears to get into the suits. I think Ben and Chewie ate the officers! Wookies need lots of calories, and Ben just doesn't get quality Coruscant dishes like he used to.

I read that too, but then why are there garrisons upon garrsions of armor-clad Stormtroopers running around the Death Star after the Falcon lands and it's announced nobody's inside? There's no reason to be in armor at that point between the time it's announced that nobody's aboard to the time that Han has his boring conversation.

Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

I never thought they were robots,but then again I didn't do a whole lot of thinking when I first saw Star Wars.I was in to it to deeply to wonder about those things.I to think that the stormtroopers need some training in marksmanship really bad.
